Clients from Hell: a website for designers to vent

Too much pink – when we (notice the royal “we”?) ask you to pick colours that are more feminine, we don’t mean girlie… our customers are women, not little girls - try soft contemporary greens, blues, corals etc. We could use a more modern font also.

Typically ‘feminine’ in colour terms usually means red, pinks and purples. I agree that may not be the palette that women typically like, but when you say feminine that’s what it means to a designer. If you do a google search for “feminine colour scheme” you’ll notice the majority of images feature reds, pinks and purples. If you have particular colours you’d like me to use, you can always send them through.

So basically the were saying “feminine” but meant “pastel”.

Thanks for the link to Kuler, by the way.
